Hello. I am a newcomer to rsync so please forgive me if this question is
dumb. I'm still learning rsync and I didn't find anything on this topic
elsewhere.
Is it possible to run the rsync client on windows with a passworded keypair
using Pageant or SSH Accession? When I attempt to run these commands I
receive errors. I am trying the following:
rsync -e "ssh2 -l myusername -p myport" destserver:
Unfortunately, the ssh connection succeeds but the rest of the command does
not. It results in the following error:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
When I try
rsync -e "plink -load myputtysession" destserver:
again I am able to create a connection to the ssh server but I get the
following error:
Using username "myusername".
Unable to write to standard output
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
Is it possible to connect to rsync using a passworded keypair from windows?
If it is not possible, why not? I have rsyncd.conf configured to write to a
log but it's not showing anything interesting.
Thanks.
David
